PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re like me and haven’t touched the Layers of Fear series up to this point. Like a lot of horror-heads, I was extremely worried when I heard the news that the long-rumored Silent Hill 2 remake would be developed by Bloober Team, a Polish developer of smaller indie horror games. It didn’t help that the only Bloober Team game I’d played up to that point was the studio’s

Sometimes, the creature with the minimalist design frightens you the most. Meet the corrupted soul from the Cube Escape series.

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

The witch from Left 4 Dead is iconically scary!!!

Just spent my first hour with Wall of Insanity 2 and wow... my heart is still racing. 😅 The devs really stepped up the horror elements here. The way the shadows move and the enemy AI keeps you on your toes is brilliant. Has anyone else started playing? Let me know what you think of the new mechanics in the comments! 👇

SHOULD I PLAY WAYFINDER? Avoid it for the time being. Wayfinder’s early access release has been a complete disaster, and beyond the botched launch are deeper issues that need to be addressed. On the night of Wayfinder’s release, the game was completely unplayable for me. Not only could I not log in, but absolutely nothing happened when I clicked the login button. All I could do was stare at the menu and hope the game would be playable eventually.

SHOULD I PLAY TITAN QUEST: ULTIMATE EDITION? If you’ve been searching for a microtransaction-free alternative to Diablo Immortal or are craving some old-school hack-and-slash action, Titan Quest: Ultimate Edition deserves a closer look. While this action-RPG definitely shows its age, it’s an addictive game that runs perfectly on mobile. I had a ton of fun fighting my way through hordes of monsters, picking up piles of loot, and building a character that was a perfect fit for my playstyle.

There’s never been a better time to be a gamer that loves creepypasta. You can find all kinds of creepypasta games across nearly every possible genre. Bem Feito is a deceptively cute life sim filled with sinister secrets. World of Horror is a 1-bit adventure game that pays homage to classic creepypasta tales as well as the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito. There are multiplayer games inspired by the

Kinda similar feeling that makes you afraid even to run the game, although you want to play more, and finish it, served me only two titles - old Doom3, with creepiest hell'ish designs, but little generic now, and Resident Evil VII, with it's ridiculous ideas, creepiest nightmares way more than you expected.

Hello I'm here again to show you what I have been grinding for the past week. I raided every dungeons each chapter just to unlock these monsters information from the game Raziel Rebirth. 💥 = Difficulty to kill UNDEAD Explore a realm where the boundaries between life and death are blurred, as the undead wander in shadows, their existence veiled in mystery and darkness. The Undead Undead Archer

We're pretty stoked for the upcoming new Hellboy game, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. I mean, just look at this thing in action in the trailer above. It looks like the pages of Hellboy artist Mike Mignola's artwork come to life. If they can pull it off and make it fun, it's going to be killer. Unfortunately, though, we got news today that we'll have to wait just a little bit longer to find out whether they pulled it off or not. Originally planned to launch on October 4, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd has been pushed back two weeks to an October 18 release.

SHOULD I PLAY VAMPIRE SURVIVORS: EMERGENCY MEETING? If you’ve already sunk dozens or even hundreds of hours into Vampire Survivors, then you’ve probably already bought this add-on. But just in case you were wondering, yes, the new Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting DLC is excellent. It doesn’t seem like this game’s intense, mostly single-player action would be a great match with the social deduction stylings of

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

Resident Evil 4 is a game I’d recommend to absolutely anyone. It’s a masterpiece of the survival horror genre, with smooth, satisfying combat and some fantastically spooky set pieces. The original was already a stone-cold classic, but the 2023 remake refined its graphics and gameplay mechanics, making the game feel better than ever. It’s something that everyone should play at least once, but if you have literally any other options, you probably shouldn’t play it on mobile.

The Naked twins from outlast and also the ex security guard just look at them! Naked and scary and the other one will just rip you to shreds

SHOULD I PLAY DIMENSION HUNTER? Check this one out if you’re into roguelites and like bullet hell mechanics, but skip it if you’re not that into the genre. Dimension Hunter is a fun and fast-paced dungeon crawler that’s easy to pick up and play, but aside from its awesome pixel art, it doesn’t do anything that makes it stand out from the crowd. It might not be the most original game, but there are plenty of cool power-ups and weird monsters to fight, so die-hard roguelite fans should definitely give it a try.

For me I vote for Left 4 Dead. Because with all that hordes and different zombies like the tanker and witch it makes you overwhelmed when they chase you and sometimes can't even shoot because of the amount of Zombies. But still for me its the best

I wouldn't call this a bias or anything. I was never a huge fan of Left 4 Dead, but I was a big admirer of its community and all of the memes and content created for it. Darktide has had many ups and downs to reach to where it is today. The game originally released in 2022 and while it was poorly received for a variety of issues and incomplete features the gameplay was and still is one of the strongest selling point for those who stuck around and for those who remember. It's fun and engaging! I couldn't really get into it back in Beta because it didn't really feel like a community and well, I could barely even play it because the game just would not work half of the time. Nor were any of the players talkative or communicative.

The resident evil series is pretty well known for being growtesk. From when I played Biohazard, they didn’t hold out on me. This was the only resident evil game I played. That didn’t stop me from completing the game. All the monsters looked cool and felt disgusting to look at. Even the endgame boss was innocent at first. Throughout the game, you would see an old woman in a wheelchair. She didn’t seem to have much purpose; seeing her in different places of the house. That is until you get to the end of the game. She turns out to the little girl that caused of what has been going on in the game. She just wanted to have a family. Then, she turns into some kind of black, gooey, and kinda stringy looking face. But that isn’t the only thing you have to face. You had to go against the entire family before get to the end. The strong and ruthless father, the big loving mother, the crazy and sadistic son. Not to mention all the molded creatures all over the house; with only a mouth to attack. There are many games of resident evil like this, but this is the one that I remember.

SHOULD I PLAY DREDGE: THE PALE REACH? If you dug the creepy, cozy vibes of Dredge, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest DLC. Dredge: The Pale Reach brings this lovecraftian fishing game to colder waters, adding a brand-new icy area to the game. Whether I was catching fish for a mysterious hooded figure, staring at the northern lights, or trying to avoid a surprisingly terrifying narwhal, this DLC really made
